We review the explanations of the statistical relationship between spatial price indices and real living standards in this nation. Then, using data from several seasons in the country, we show that these variables are positively associated, price indices, and real living standards may be statistically linked on multiple bases. The total cost of living in Syria for one person with average consumption for one month will be USD 500, no rent price included.
Restaurants
Unquestionably, everyone who visited the country will say that this is a country of thousands of spices, tea varieties, and fruits. Syrian cuisine is full of meat, salads, and even roasted pigeons. Despite low prices, the meals are tantalizing, delicious, and well cooked. You can get a decent mean for USD 15.00.
Restaurants
The transport system here is reliable. You can hire a taxi for about USD 3/ 10kn. However, most institutions have transport for students. You can pay once per semester to access the university cans and buses!
Rent per month
A one-bedroom apartment in the center of big cities here will cost about USD 300. At the same time, similar accommodation far from the downtown will be only USD 150 and you can save a little if you don’t need to spend much on transportation.
Monthly Budget
Those interested in simple living should budget between USD 400 or less monthly. Generally, this budget allows for bus rides and the occasional taxi, big trips to the marketplace, and a few restaurant meals each month. While you can choose to live in relative luxury, employing full-time housekeepers, commuting by car, enjoying exquisite homes, and consuming imported goods such as lifestyles can easily amount to USD 600 or more monthly.
